If a connection opened by <function>fsockopen</function> wasn't closed
by the server, <function>feof</function> will hang. To workaround this, see
below example:
<example>
<title>Handling timeouts with <function>feof</function></title>
<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
function safe_feof($fp, &$start = NULL) {
$start = microtime(true);
return feof($fp);
}
/* Assuming $fp is previously opened by fsockopen() */
$start = NULL;
$timeout = ini_get('default_socket_timeout');
while(!safe_feof($fp, $start) && (microtime(true) - $start) < $timeout)
{
/* Handle */
}
?>
]]>
</programlisting>
</example>
</para>

<warning>
<para>
If the passed file pointer is not valid you may get an infinite loop, because
<function>feof</function> fails to return &true;.
<example>

<programlisting role="php">
<![CDATA[
<?php
// if file can not be read or doesn't exist fopen function returns FALSE
$file = @fopen("no_such_file", "r");
// FALSE from fopen will issue warning and result in infinite loop here
while (!feof($file)) {
}
fclose($file);
